My question: While “Turned” concludes with an idealistic image of female empowerment, to what extent is Gilman’s vision of female community possible in the early twentieth century? On a related note, what happens to women who don’t have friends in high places? For example, what would have happened to Gerta if Mrs. Marroner had not stepped in to assist her?
When you read the sample response paper, make sure that you can see my marginal comments, in which I comment on the paper's organization and some required elements for the response paper. To view these comments (if you don't see them when you open the document), open up the "Review" tab in Microsoft Word, then, next to the "track changes" button, you'll see a drop down menu. Select "final: show markup."
